Job 7
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Kami loe thanathaih hoiah na ai maw long nuiah toksak? A hinghaih ninawk doeh toksak han tlai ih kami ih ninawk baktiah na ai maw oh?
1“Is not man consigned to labor on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired hand?
2Tamna mah tahlip to zing moe, tlai ih toksah kami mah toktho zing baktih toengah,
2Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hireling he waits for his wages.
3kai doeh khrah paroeai thungah ka sak ih tok loe azom pui ah ni oh, aqumnawk doeh kai patangkhanghaih ah ni oh.
3So I am allotted months of futility, and nights of misery are appointed me.
4Ka iih naah, natuek naah maw aqum hae boeng ueloe, kang thawk han? tiah ka poek; to tiah akhawnbang khodai khoek to ahnuk ahmaa kam let.
4When I lie down I think: ‘When will I get up?’ But the night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.
5Ka ngan loe alungh hoi maiphu mah khuk khoep boeh; ka nganhin loe akah rak moe, ahnai to tacawt.
5My flesh is clothed with worms and encrusted with dirt; my skin is cracked and festering.
6Ka hinghaih aninawk loe kahni sah kami ih camprai pongah rang kue moe, oephaih om ai ah laemh o.
6My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.
7Aw ka hinghaih loe takhi ah ni oh, tiah panoek ah; ka mik mah hoihhaih roe hnu mak ai boeh.
7Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.
8Vaihi kai hnu kaminawk mah, kai na hnu o let mak ai boeh; nang khet naah, ka om mak ai boeh.
8The eye that beholds me will no longer see me. You will look for me, but I will be no more.
9Kanghmaa tamai baktiah, taprong ah caeh tathuk kami loe, amlaem let mak ai boeh.
9As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come back up.
10Anih loe angmah im ah amlaem let mak ai boeh; a ohhaih ahmuen mah doeh anih to panoek mak ai boeh.
10He never returns to his house; his place remembers him no more.
11To pongah pakha hae kang sumh mak ai; patangkhang ka muithla hoiah lok ka thuih moe, khosak kasae ka hinghaih hoiah lok ka thuih han.
11Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12Kai loe tuipui ah maw ka oh, tuipui thung ih tanga pui ah maw ka oh moe, kai toepkung na suek?
12Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that You must keep me under guard?
13Ka iihkhun mah kamongah anghaksak ueloe, kang song naah ka nathaih hoikhang tih mue, tiah ka poek,
13When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
14to naah amaang sae mah kai ang pazih, hnuksakhaih mah ang tasoehsak;
14then You frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
15to pongah ka hing pongah loe, tahnong panamh moe, duek to ka koeh kue boeh.
15so that I would prefer strangling and death over my life in this body.
16Ka hinghaih hae ka panuet; ka hing poe mak ai; kaimabueng na omsak ah; ka hinghaih aninawk loe avanghaih tidoeh om ai.
16I loathe my life! I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17Kami loe kawbangah maw oh moe, anih to na pakoeh? Anih to na poek?
17What is man that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart upon him,
18Anih to akhawnbang kruek na paqaih thuih moe, anih to na tanoek tuektuek?
18that You attend to him every morning, and test him every moment?
19Kai caeh taak ai ah nasetto maw na oh han vop, kaimah ih tamtui paaeh karoek to, kaimabueng nang omsak mak ai maw?
19Will You never look away from me, or leave me alone to swallow my spittle?
20Aw kaminawk toepkung, kai loe ka zae boeh maw? Na hmaa ah timaw ka sak? Tipongah kaimah han hmuenzit ah ka oh hanah, kah han na patoep ih hmuen ah nang suek loe?
20If I have sinned, what have I done to You, O watcher of mankind? Why have You made me Your target, so that I am a burden to You ?
21Tipongah ka sakpazaehaih nang tahmen ai, ka zaehaih doeh nang takhoe pae ving ai loe? Kai loe vaihi maiphu pongah kang song han boeh; akhawnbangah nang pakrong tih, toe ka om mak ai boeh, tiah a naa.
21Why do You not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For soon I will lie down in the dust; You will seek me, but I will be no more.”
